Born in Sydney, she began speech and drama classes at the age of 8, culminating in the completion of her Associate Diploma, Trinity College London (ATCL) at age 17 for which she was awarded the top theory mark in the state. Before drama school Nicole studied at Stella Adler (NY) and the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA) and appeared in numerous ads and theatre productions.

Her monologues and short pieces have been performed at various institutions and her short opera Little Deaths (co-written with Paul Castles) was workshopped with the Victorian Opera/Chamber Made Opera in 2012. She is currently working on a full-length chamber opera and a novel.
